• Increased Flexibility and Agility
Deploy a single application design
to multiple software architectures.
Tom Sawyer Perspectives enables
teams to quickly develop production-quality,
data-oriented applications. Developers use
two graphical modules—the Designer and
Previewer—to build applications around the
specific types of data that drive each project.
Using the Designer, they define schema,
data sources, bindings, rules, views, filters,
and searches.
Developers can also use the Designer to
specify custom toolbars, tooltips, context
menus, and graphical viewing and editing
behaviors. With the Previewer, developers
can iteratively view the application design
without needing to recompile. When used
together, the Designer and Previewer
provide an efficient round-trip process
that dramatically speeds up application
development.

best graph visualization, layout, and
analysis for unmatched drawing

Capabilities
Data Sources
• Graphics-based Software
An easy-to-use design environment simplifies development
tasks, such as schema definition, data integration, view
definition, and filter and search design. Extensive APIs are
provided for additional customization.
• Integration with Application Data Models
Model integration APIs allow developers to populate a
Tom Sawyer Perspectives data model from an existing inmemory application data model. Tom Sawyer Perspectives
also offers a model event system that enables customer
applications to listen to changes in the data model as they
occur.
• Data Integration
Data integration for structured, semi-structured, and
unstructured data, with federated update and commit
facilities, support using disparate and distributed data types.
Product integration is provided for Microsoft Excel, Oracle
Big Data Spatial and Graph, Neo4j, SAP HANA, Datastax
Enterprise Graph, OrientDB, AllegroGraph, and Oracle
12.2c. Data integration is provided for TinkerPop, REST,
JSON, XML, Text, SQL, and RDF.
